should i chmod 777 for this folder?

Code:

/var/cpanel/secdatadir/ip

Hello,

Under Mod_Ruid2/MPM-ITK, the Apache process is run as the cPanel user, and therefore does not have access to obtain a lock on the GeoIP database. This is documented at:

Apache Module: ModSecurity - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation

Thank you

Thank you

and how to make cPanel user have access to obtain GeoIP database? should i chmod 755 or 777 for this directory?

Code:

/var/cpanel/secdatadir/ip

if yes, does it save and ok?

It's not currently possible unless you disable Mod_Ruid2 or MPM-ITK. There's a thread on this at:

https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/m...mpatibility-inconsistent-documentation.507051

Thank you.

Thank you.

so a combination like this will never work?

cPanelMichael · Sep 8, 2016

You can install both modules, and they will function, however some issues can arise, like the one referenced on this thread and documented on the link referenced earlier:

If your system uses either the mod_ruid2 or the mod_mpm_itk Apache modules and also uses Persistant Storage with the initcol, setuid, or setsid directives in the ModSecurity rules, Apache will fail to track that rule. Apache will also log errors to its error_log file. For example, the IP Reputation rule in the OWASP core ruleset may give this error.

Thank you.
